Saddleworth #Whitfrday Results. It's not all about the winning though, so congratulations and thanks to everybody who took part. Young 'uns and old ones; beginners and champions, from near and far. See you next year. Friday 13th 🤪 June 4barsrest.com/news/60764/res…

Overall results for Whit Friday. Thank you everyone for coming and braving the miserable weather. saddleworthwhitfriday.co.uk/results/

@BrassBandsEng @FridayWhit @Friezlandband I’m convinced #WhitFriday24 and #brassbands in general get short changed in broader society. They are both cultural gems that should be more widely known and celebrated :-)

What a morning 😍 Can brass bands become a permanent fixture on @BBCBreakfast please? Love em Good luck to all taking part in @FridayWhit

Various members of the BBE team will be playing in and visiting #WhitFriday24 tomorrow. Including the full #WhitFriday experience for our Marketing Manager, a @FridayWhit newbie, courtesy of BBE Member Band @Friezlandband. Best of luck to everyone performing! See you there? 🎺

On Whit Friday contests will post the number of bands waiting at their contest. Some contests will also be using their own social media - check the contest pages on the website. saddleworthwhitfriday.co.uk/latest-updates…

There are still a few bands doing their homework on the bus, it seems! Don’t forget that our pre- registration form closes tonight. This is to ensure that the contests have time to organise their booking in systems in good time. Don’t leave it too late!

On Friday, May 24 streets will be filled with church congregations as they join Whit Walks in the morning before enjoying the ‘Greatest Free show on Earth’ from 4pm as the brass band contests commence. saddind.co.uk/saddleworth-br…

Well we can assume you like the new website! It’s been so popular that we need to upgrade the server size. This could take about an hour, so please check back about 12noon (Saturday). Thanks for your support.

Have you left registering off your ‘to do’ list? The clock is ticking now! Pre-registration will close on Wednesday evening. saddleworthwhitfriday.co.uk/registration-f…

Programmes remain our main source of income and are now available. Please support the contest by purchasing a programme on the day. #WhitFriday
